The way of the gun in Papua New Guinea - 23 Jul 07

In Papua New Guinea there are fears of increased violence after five thousand guns from the police and military "disappeared".

In a country of around 6 million people, there are more than 500 reported murders a year. That's four times higher than the murder rate in the US.

But authorities say up to 75 per cent of criminal deaths go unreported and the country's real homicide rate is likely to be even higher.

Dan Nolan, travelled to Port Moresby, from where he sent this report.

@iniloarowe patience is a virtue. revenge is a dish best served cold. We will arise soon and the world will not humiliate us again. From the western province to the Milne Bay; among our weakest people to our most animalistic type, the hunger for freedom, fight against suppression and the hatred of the highlands provinces is one that consumes us all. 'timing is everything. get that right and victory is most assured". Napoleon of France.

Lets talk about the best of PNG, and not the Bad ugly violent stories of PNG. So the good does prevail in cases of putting bad creaters to humble the violent composers, SERIOUSLY.

@iniloarowe its easy to talk tough my friend. we'll see in 2018 when the new papua besena leadership begins returning home. we are everywhere studying, preparing and waiting for the day we return to create a country we can trully call our own. We were not plucked from obscurity and sent overseas to study and train just to come home to be Somare's waterboy. Puka Temu betrayed the Movement in 2002 and all traitors will in time come to pay for their disloyalty. Remember this my man.
